For those who haven't tried out the new IE8 yet, I suggest giving it a test because it is better than FF3 in my opinion. FF3 crashes on me all the time, at least once or twice a day. IE8 not only runs smoother, it also doesn't crash because if a tab crashes, it doesn't cause the entire browser to crash, it simply just reloads that tab that crashed...awesome! It also has a few other nice features but like I said, get IE8 if you haven't already.

Hell yes! IE, the terrible browser, is finally not a load of crap. I tried it(because my bro uses IE) and i loved it.

IE uses ActiveX, it's something that is used for IE's amazing customization. It is, however, incredibly easy to hack any old components. IE8 comes with a pre-installed program that gets rid of every outdated AX component with a quickness.

I would go into detail, but I've said this too many times before lol. It is very good. I wonder what the 64-bit version of IE8 is like...*goes off to dream land*

Ok, for the last time. Let's get this clear.

Firefox without add-ons is NOT a good browser, it's when you add the add-ons that it gets good. If you don't need the customization then you might as well just say f*** it and use something else.

Like Chrome or Opera which both kick IE8's ass, even if it's far better than IE7.

Rasenganfan2: I have 64-bit Windows Ultimate and use IE8 so it's a nice experience

Dragon Master: If you're going to say something is better than something else, use an intelligent reason.

Did you... Not read my post or something? I said that IE8 is better than vanilla (no add-ons or similar) FF3.

In fact, almost any regularly updated browser is better than vanilla FF3.

Oh and as for my intelligent reasons.

Chrome/Opera have all the features IE8 has, except faster safer and generally better.

Oh and, I have barely ever seen FF3 crashing, it uses loads of CPU and such yeah but crashing? That's rather rare, at least for me.


That be intelligent enough reasons for you?

FF3 Crashes? When? Where?
Never did for me. o.o
But dude, seriously? IE8 is better? I doubt that.
I have tried it, and in all honesty, FF3 is better.
As DM said, Vanilla FF3 is crap. Very bad.
But with all the add-ons, sure it's slow to load (Takes 3 more seconds than IE8) but in my opinion, it's worth it.

Firefox is good because of it's wide range of add-ons and customizable features. That's what makes it good.

Dave: *drools*

DM&Neyro: Don't forget that IE has loads of addons too. You have skins, toolbars, web slices, toolbars, radios, etc. So, IE is almost as customizable as FF, but without the lag or RAM usage.

When we say "ADDONS" we mean stuff like Noscript, Downthemall, IETab (Useless for IE of course. XD), Tweak Network.

Themes, Toolbars, Skins, are found on ANY browser.

So no. It isn't customizable as FF3.

FF3 blocks pretty much as many pop-ups as any other browser does out of the box (except chrome methinks)
Add-ons firefox have that IE doesn't: No-script, DownThemAll, 4chan addon (lawl) and well a lot. I can't list them but if you need it, firefox most probably has it.
Oh and IE8 overwrites IE7, IE has always worked like that.


On the other hand though, you should get IE8, staying up to date is a good thing. You just shouldn't use it for common browsing, there's better alternatives for that.

IE8 IS good for common browsing. Read the Cnet review. By the way, this review is of IE8 beta 2. So, HA!

I never said that IE had as many addons as FF, just said that it had NEARLY as many. Believe me, FF has many more addons than IE, however, IE does have about... say 90% of the addons FF does.

Don't forget the IE exclusive addons such as webslices. FF doesn't have webslices. IE8 is safe. Just read the review to find out why IE8 is good. Remember, that is IE8 beta 2 review.

Web slices are pretty much RSS except stupid and doesn't work for all browsers.

And IE8 doesn't even have 40% of Firefox's add-ons (I can pull numbers out of my ass too).

Learn to speak about things you know stuff about.

Yeah sure whatever.

But my point is that, IE8 might be good. But why settle for good when you can have something better?

I'm tired of arguing. I hate to sound weird but it's a drag. I'm done arguing. IE8 and FF3 are both good. But the one you prefer depends on you.

FF3 crashes on me a lot, I don't know why I would lie about that but it's to the point where I am just to irritated with it to make it my main browser now. Maybe this is just a vista issue or just a 64-bit issue, but it's definitely an issue.

And no one can give opinions about IE8 until they use it.

FF3 is crap with the crashing and it is also a bit laggy BUT it does display better then any other browser from what I've seen.

I think it's a 64-bit issue. I'm using FF and it hasn't crashed on me. It's probably because it's not really meant for 64-bit computers. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to wait until FF 4.x for a 64-bit version of FF. Or so is rumored
